SGJ Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 After doing some DIY for the kids bedrooms I have some off cuts of thin plywood. The offcuts are two pieces of 4 x 2, and one piece of 6 x 1. The name Tarnfield Park is a park in Yeadon ( near Leeds Bradford Airport ) because Benjamin my younger son and Rachael my younger Daughter love going to the park on a Saturday and the offcuts were from there bedrooms it makes sense to me to name the layout as such. With my interest in doing Carr Crofts ( http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/106682-carr-crofts/ ) I am slowly increasing my DMU fleet to suit the genre I will have the plywood set out in an L shape and see where it takes me. I will have it as a small terminus station probably a single platform, a coal yard, and a platform for goods, Branch line type Well that's the plan anyway. The thing that I am wanting to achieve out of this side show project is to better my skills before building Carr Crofts, a practice run you could say.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2016 Do you need a run round to enable the good to be shunted ? Or will you have a yard pilot to move things around ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGJ Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Do you need a run round to enable the good to be shunted ? Or will you have a yard pilot to move things around ? I will be using a pilot ( 08021 ) I am planning on buying a 03 at the end of July which will give me the option of a longer freight train, I may also have another siding too but its early days, the other thing is that when I build Carr Crofts it will be a gravity yard so this layout may include a slope too for experimenting with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGJ Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Upon reflection on the idea for this layout, I have decided to not go ahead with it and instead use the plywood for Carr Crofts because it seems like a waste of the wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
